Do heat pumps work in cold weather?

Yes — air source heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently even in low temperatures. They can extract heat from the air even when it feels cold outside.

Are air source heat pumps expensive to run?

No — they are highly efficient and can produce more heat energy than the electricity they use. This makes them cheaper to run than traditional heating systems in many cases.

Can a heat pump replace my existing boiler?

Yes — in most cases, an air source heat pump can replace a gas or oil boiler, providing heating and hot water for your home.

Do I need to upgrade my radiators?

Sometimes — heat pumps work best with larger radiators or underfloor heating, but many existing systems can be adapted without a full replacement.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take a few days, depending on the property and system complexity. A professional installer will assess your home beforehand.

Are there government grants available?

Yes — in the UK, schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) can help reduce the upfront cost of installing an air source heat pump.

What is an air source heat pump?

Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and use it to warm your home and hot water. Even in colder temperatures, they provide an efficient, low-carbon alternative to traditional heating systems, helping reduce energy bills and reliance on fossil fuels.

Why should I choose air source heat?

Choosing an air source heat pump is a smart, future-focused way to heat your home, offering improved efficiency, lower emissions, and long-term savings. By using renewable energy from the air, you can reduce your dependence on gas or oil while keeping your home comfortable all year round.

How does it all work?

Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home’s heating system. Using a small amount of electricity, they compress and increase the temperature of that heat, making it usable for radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water.

Let's get started

Consultation

We’ll discuss your energy needs, property and goals to understand which renewable energy solution is right for you.

Survey

We will assess your property by conducting a full heat-loss calculation. This is done by measuring your rooms, windows, doors and insulation. The results of this allows us to calculate the size of the air source heat pump using an MCS-accredited software. This will allow us to accurately calculate your cylinder and radiators to efficiently work with the air source heat pump.

Quote

We use an MCS recognised quoting tool to ensure accurate figure. We then provide a clear tailored quote with everything you need to make an informed decision.

Installation

Our qualified team will install your system professionally, safely and with minimal disruption to your home.
